Tractor Service and Repair in Chandler, AZ

• Diesel Tractor Maintenance

  Your tractor is the true workhorse of your ranch and requires occasional, but regular, maintenance to keep it in top working condition. As any responsible owner will tell you, if you take care of your tractor it will take care of you. Here we will make suggestions about the maintenance of your diesel tractor.

• Daily Tractor Maintenance

  Every day, before you even get on your tractor, you should perform a basic check of all systems. This amounts to a simple walk-around, with the added measure of checking your fluids and looking at fittings.

• Daily Tire Check

  Checking, gouges, cracks and low air are the main concerns where your tractor tires are concerned. Noticing low tire pressure can be just a temperature change, but can also signify a leak. If you notice low pressure again in under 2-3 days, you will want to check for a leak and get it repaired quickly.

• Daily Engine Check

  Your daily engine check will cover a cursory check of the belts and hoses, lights and gauges. In addition, check your oil and coolant levels before starting the engine. It's also wise to look at your air filter to make sure it hasn't been clogged with dust, dirt or other debris.

• Daily Transmission/Hydraulics Check

  As you walk around your tractor, be sure to check your transmission fluid levels and look at all your hydraulic fittings. While some fittings do seep, these systems are designed to be completely sealed. Any leakage should be noted and corrected when possible. Special points to look at are the seals at casing joints and hose crimp fittings.

• Daily Equipment Check

  Although it's not really recommended, many of us leave our attachments on our tractors until we are done with a specific job. Before moving the tractor, check your turnbuckles and locking pins, and ensure everything is connected properly and securely.

Added Notes

In addition to the above daily checks, you should also keep your tractor covered or shielded from the weather when you are done for the day. Most ranchers have a lean-to or pole barn to pull the tractor into, but a tarp will do the job well, too.
